Troubleshooting Section
Batteries and/or Battery Cables
1. Inspect the battery posts, and battery cables for
loose connections and for corrosion. If the battery
cables are cor
roded, remove the b atte ry cables
and clean the battery cables. Tighten any loose
connections.
2. Inspect the batteries.
a. Charge the bat
teries. Refer to Special
Instruction, SEHS7633, “Battery Test
Procedure”.
b. Load test the batteries. Refer to Special
Instruction, SEHS9249, “Use of 4C-4911
Battery Load
Tester for 6, 8 and 12 Volt Lead
Acid Batteries”.
Cranking Cir
cuit
The ECM controls the crank cycle for the engine.
During a req
uest for engine starting, the ECM
provides power to the Starter Motor Magnetic Switch
(SMMS) for the starter. Ensure that the cranking
circuit is o
perating correctly. Perform the following
Steps:
1. Check all of
the circuit breakers for the application.
If a breaker is tripped, investigate the cause.
2. Check the c
ontrol input voltage for the SMMS at
the ECM.
3. Ensure tha
t the control input voltage is reaching
the SMMS.
4. Check the i
nput voltage for the secondary circuit
of the SMMS.
5. Check the o
utput voltage for the secondary circuit
of the SMMS.
The corre
ct voltages during engine cranking will be
equal to the battery voltage.
If any of t
he voltages are incorrect, repair the circuit.
Starting Motor Solenoid or S tarting
Circuit
1. Test the operation of the starting motor solenoid.
2. Check the wiring to the starting motor solenoid.
Starting
Motor or Flywheel Ring Gear
1. Test the operation of the starting motor.
2. Inspect the pinion for the starting motor and the
flywheel ring ge
ar for damage.
Engine Accessories
1. Ensure free movement of the driveline.
2. Ensure that th
e timing pin was not left in the
flywheel housing.
3. Remove any eng
ine accessories that may lock up
the engine and inspect any engine accessories
that may lock up the engine.
Hydraulic Cylinder Lock
Check for fluid
in the cylinders (hydraulic cylinder
lock) by removing the individual unit injectors.
Note: Drain t
he fuel from the cylinder head. Fuel will
flow from the cylinder head into the cylinders when
the unit injector is removed.
Internal Engine Problem
1. Disassemble
theengine.RefertoDisassembly
and Assembly.
2. Inspect the i
nternal components for the following
conditions:
•
Seizure
•
Broken components
•
Bent components
